Drawing

Students who pursue Drawing are able to go through a sequence, which trains them in the materials and techniques of observational drawing as well as teaches them to appreciate drawing as one of the most immediate and universal forms of visual thinking.

As they advance, students develop a dynamic approach to mark-making by incorporating in their work a variety of media, forms, and traditions. They expand their own personal thematic and conceptual aesthetic by investigating discipline cross-pollination and current innovations that challenge the conventional notion of what Drawing is and which have transformed the boundaries of the field in the 21st century.
